So perhaps another angle, is that wisdom can be the ability to discern knowledge through either experience or faith - and then becomes one's viewpoint.

Astually, in that case... you have pure knowlwdge that the snake venom lasts 7 days. It's your wisdom that tells you more often than not pre knowledge is correct. Basically in the past, you've had pure knowledge that redicted an event that you later experienced. The fact that your experience coroborated your pure knowledge is in itself wisdom. You are wise to the fact that pure knowlege can mirror reality. This is why you can have faith that the snake bite venom will last 7 days.
It's very much like a little kid near the stove. "Don't touch that, it's hot!" mom says. The kid touches it anyway and gets burned. That kid has gained wisdom about the stove being hot, but more importantly, the kid has gained the wisdom to listen and believe what mom says is true. The next time she says, "Don't touch that, it's hot" the kid will likely not touch it, even if it's a hot plate and not the stove.
